when you installed the game, there should be a file called fast.bat in the installation folder. Open this file in notepad (.bat files are just textfiles with commands written in them). There should be some exe call in this file, probably with some other switches in it.
for example
game.exe /someswitch /someotherswitch

change this to
game.exe /someswitch /someotherswitch /TEDISPLAY
and save the bat file.
now start Dosbox as before, cd into the folder and type fast and hit enter.

M' man! Good to go.

A belated question re command line switchs.

I notice in the batch file of the game mentioned above, FAST ATTACK, there is 1% 2% 3% after the exe and before a particular switch.

Firstly, just what is this, and 2ndly, if applicable, is this peculiar to this app particularly or might you see or use it in others?

That's quite common. Those are placeholders for command line arguments - but I think you put the percentage signs in the wrong spots.

If you had a file called foo.bat that contained the line

1bar.exe %1 %2 /whatever

then if you ran

1foo.bat quux quoz

the batch file would actually execute

1bar.exe quux quoz /whatever

Sorry, but that went right by me.

I understand, generally, the term placeholder; but the terms you used in your example above, are they actual commands or non-sense words for purpose of illustration?

It would be helpful is you could suggest possible commands that might be used in an actual file.

And finnaly, I gather it's OK to delete them, the %1 %2 %3, without harm.

Thanks, Jorpho, I appreciate your interest.

Just read the example that Jorpho posted a few times. The %x things will
have an effect when the batch file is called with parameters itself,
like in the example you type "foo.bat quux quoz" rather than just "foo.bat"
and the %1 will be replaced by quux etc.

I don't see them very often and can't think of a good example. It is fairly uncommon for a program to require so many command line arguments and also be launched from a .bat file.

Only if you're never launching the program with multiple arguments.

Thanks, guys. I know it must try your patience sometime when some us just don't seem to "get it". Appreicate you guys hanging in there with those of us who are a little bit slower on the uptake. Again, my thanks.
